Are you approaching a crossroads from a road with right of way?

Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video, you are driving along a street in a town and approaching a junction; on the right there is a yellow diamond with a white border - sign D-1 "priority road" - with plate T-6a, on which the thick line of your road continues through the fork, and thin lines mark the minor roads. You are approaching the junction on a priority road. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign D-1 marks the beginning or continuation of a priority road, and plate T-6a placed under it shows the actual course of the priority road through the junction - the priority road is marked with a thick line, the minor roads with thin ones. Signs A-7 or B-20 stand at the entries of the minor roads, so their drivers must give way to you, and the right-hand rule from the Road Traffic Act does not apply at this junction. You always read the plate, because the priority road does not have to go straight on: when the thick line turns, going straight on means you leave the main road. Here you are driving along the thick line, so you have right of way, but the Act requires you to approach the junction with particular caution, and the principle of limited trust tells you to watch whether the driver from the side road really stops.
Legal basis: § 43 para. 1 and 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 25 para. 1 and Art. 4 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
